The Gillis Long Poverty Law Center, named in memory of a distinguished
member of the United States House of Representatives and prominent Louisiana
attorney who throughout his life was committed to excellence in legal services,
exemplifies Loyola's commitment to the community.

Founded in 1985, it enables Loyola University College of Law to expand its

boundaries of the greater metropolitan New Orleans area. Several of the activities
sponsored or founded by the center are the Loyola Law Clinic, Loyola Poverty
Law Journal, Summer Internship Programs, Loan Forgiveness Program, and a
Distinguished Speaker Series. Read More...
